Ataköy Marina

What Ataköy Marina does

Ataköy Marina, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Bakırköy, Istanbul, operates Turkey's first and only dedicated Mega Yacht Marina under ATAKÖY MARİNA VE YAT İŞLETMELERİ A.Ş., a subsidiary of DATİ Yatırım Holding. The facility comprises a 167,000 sqm protected harbor with a 1.5 km breakwater, 6m depth, concrete floating pontoons, and capacity for 1,000 vessels including 232 mega yachts (25-100m) simultaneously, supported by a 63-ton travel lift at the main marina and a 200-ton travel lift at the Mega Yacht Harbor, plus 800-amp shore power and free waste collection.

The core product set spans berthing contracts (daily through annual), technical maintenance (engine, electrical, sail, rigging, hull cleaning via travel lift and crane), 24/7 fuel and oil sales, front-office administrative services (Transitlog, communications, tourist information), and a growing Maritime Academy offering one-on-one boat training. On-site ecosystem assets — Sheraton Istanbul Ataköy, Galleria Shopping Center, branded F&B tenants (Alaçatı, Big Mamas, Mado, Starbucks, Nossa Costa, Puppa), a yacht club, fitness center, pool, and tennis court — add a second revenue layer beyond berthing.

Revenue mechanics are multi-stream: recurring berthing subscriptions (the largest stream), transactional technical services and fuel, and rental/retail income from the mixed-use complex. Pricing is largely quote-based and varies by vessel dimensions, with a few transparent line items (water at 31.90 TL/ton, crane at 1,000 TL/op, forklift at 350 TL/op, diving at 750 TL first half-hour). The go-to-market is event-driven and enterprise-field-sales hybrid: international boat shows (e.g., Dubai) drive awareness among HNW owners, while direct front-office relationships close mega yacht enterprise contracts. Brand credibility is anchored by 35+ consecutive years of TYHA 5 Golden Anchor status, 22+ years of FEE Blue Flag, and the 2025 Superyacht Ready certification.

As Turkey's largest marina chain with international mega yacht exposure, it is the most direct head-to-head competitor to Ataköy for premium berthing, refit, and transit berths.
• IC Çelebi Marina (Antalya): Çelebi Marina in Antalya is a premium Turkish marina with berthing for vessels up to 75m, full technical services, and on-site chandlery. It competes directly with Ataköy for Mediterranean coast mega yacht berthing and winter storage, serving overlapping owner demographics.
• Setur Marinas: Setur Marinas operates more than 10 marinas across Turkey under Koç Holding, providing berthing, maintenance, fuel, and concierge services. It directly competes with Ataköy in the Turkish premium and mega yacht marina segment, particularly on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts.
• Netsel Marmaris Marina: Netsel Marmaris Marina is an established Turkish marina in Marmaris offering berthing for vessels up to 60m and full technical services.

Broad incumbents

• IGY Marinas: IGY Marinas is one of the largest global operators of luxury yacht marinas, with 20+ facilities across the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean.

Its international footprint and superyacht specialization make it a comparable benchmark for Ataköy's mega yacht service standards and pricing structure.

Regional players
